Monguzzo Castle, Medieval castle in Monguzzo, Italy.

The stone fortress stands on Mons Acutus hill at 320 meters above sea level, offering views over Brianza region and surrounding mountains.

The castle's first documentation dates to 920 when Berengar of Friuli gifted the property to the canons of San Giovanni Battista Basilica in Monza.

The castle structure reflects architectural evolution through centuries, from a defensive fortress to a noble residence and now serves as a hospital studies center.

The complex spans over 60,000 square meters and contains three buildings: the U-shaped main castle, guest quarters in Castelletto, and service facilities in Pusterla.

Underground passages and torture chambers from the 16th century, added during Gian Giacomo Medici's ownership, were later demolished when Bentivoglio family reclaimed the property.
